Inside the Six, #70: MLS Marketing, Cup of Nations

Richard Farley — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:32:58 +0000

Once Major League Soccer gets beyond its current labor problems, the league faces a series of marketing challenges that are currently holding back some of its oldest franchises. Red Bull New York, for example, continues to struggle penetrating a fractured New York market.

To talk about that and the other challenges facing Red Bull New York and MLS, Mark Fishkin is on the show. He is a media industry veteran and an avid Red Bull-supporter, and with Red Bull Arena poised to open in March of this year, New York has a chance to turn the corner.

Mark and I talk about that, the labor problems, the successes of Seattle and Toronto, and growing the sport in the United States.

Then, I welcome Ray Curren to the show. Ray is a contributor to Set Piece Analysts and joined me on Sunday to talk about a trio of issues: Cup of Nations, English football, and United States talent leaving Major League Soccer.
